Glassdoor is a jobs and workplace-transparency platform co-founded in 2007 by Robert Hohman, Tim Besse, and Rich Barton, headquartered in San Francisco, California, and owned by Japanese HR services group Recruit Holdings (also the parent of Indeed).
The platform is best known for anonymous, employee-submitted company reviews, salary reports, CEO approval ratings, and interview experience accounts, alongside a searchable database of job listings. Job seekers can browse openings, apply to positions, and use salary estimate tools to benchmark compensation, while researching a prospective employer's culture, benefits, and interview process before applying. Since its partnership with Indeed, job listings shown on Glassdoor are sourced through Indeed's posting system.
Glassdoor is aimed at job seekers who want employer insight beyond a job description, as well as employers and HR teams monitoring their public reputation and responding to reviews.
Glassdoor is available on iOS, Android, and the web. It is free for job seekers to search jobs, read reviews, and view most salary data (some content requires signing up or contributing a review to unlock); employer-facing recruiting and branding tools are paid.
